World War II Weekend

With spring just on the horizon, our WWII committee is in high gear planning the 6th annual WWII Weekend at Graeme Park, in Horsham, PA. As in previous years, we'll have living history camp displays, battle reenactments and demonstrations, WWII veterans and honor ceremonies, swing dance lessons, a big band concert with the West Chester Swing Kings, and the comedic antics of the Ultimate Abbott and Costello Tribute Show. Look for more details in the coming weeks, but in the meantime, here is the schedule we have tentatively planned.
